Dimitris Restaurant
Dimitri's original location in downtown Lansing was known for it's unique combination of friendly service and power lunches. It was a people watchers paradise — one of the few places where you could easily see top players and humble staffers from government and industry, including Michigan legislators, governors, and sports stars, sitting side-by-side with the common folks whose sweat and strength built the products that have helped sustain Lansing's growth in an ever-changing competitive landscape.

Decent menu, and while the waitress didn't get my special order correct, it was made right in a pretty timely manner and to my satisfaction. Friendly staff in spite of the hiccup with my special requests.

My fiancé is gluten and dairy free and we were informed (after waiting 20 minutes for someone to come by to take our order) that literally everything contains butter because the entire grill is coated in it. Just FYI to anyone who has dairy intolerance.

Been a couple times, food is good but they are usually understaffed. Not a bad stop if you're looking for non-chain diner style breakfast.

Never once had a bad meal from Dimitris! Customer service is amazing; even saw Dimitri himself bussing tables a few months ago to get customers seated as quickly as possible. Location isn't very large but the customer base is which can make wait times a little longer. Sad to see people leaving 1 star reviews, lowering ratings and potentially hurting the chance of new business because a cook wasn't wearing a mask. As if small businesses haven't struggled enough... food is excellent, staff is amazing, prices and portions are great. That's what matters.

One of my favorite places to grab breakfast. Tasty, affordable, filling, and the servers are always friendly and efficient. (I always get the veggie omlet because I'm predictable and boring, but it's delicious!)

Great food. Sometimes the seating area is too small for Sunday's after church crowd. Servers seem to go out of their way to make sure all is well.

Great first time!! The staff was amazing and friendly! When we went it was super busy and even the owner was out busting tables and interacting with staff and customers. Couldn't have asked for a better experience and look forward to going back. The food was awesome as well, great selection!

Didn't even get to a table. After standing outside, checking in 3 times, being assured that they wouldn't forget us, and waiting 45 minutes, we went in to let them know that we were leaving only to find out they had already scratched us off the list. This is after calling before arriving and being told that they could accommodate us. Terrible!

This is not the go to if you're vegan. However, the customer service is great and the sever adapted to my vegan order and with no fuss. She kept my coffee cup full. The food came quickly and was hot. I appreciate good customer service particularly when the menu doesn't intuitively meet my needs.

So my wife and I drove up to a friend's Wedding and decided to get Breakfast this morning. We had many places to choose from iHop, Cracker Barrel, or Golden Corral. But after doing a Yelp Search we came up with a couple other options and just decided to drive. You know sometimes just taking a drive around a City that you don't know, can have surprising results. Even though we didn't see this place on Yelp we drove by and decided to stop in. SO GLAD that we did. I ordered the Pancake Combo and my wife Ordered the French Toast Combo. We no sooner got our drinks and then about 3 minutes

Excellent breakfast....prepared by the elderly owner I am told.....
They actually use real cheddar cheese in their omelets.... instead of American Cheese.... which was a delightful surprise....
Very clean, modern, comfortable dining room.
Great wait staff....
Zero complaints, other than the dining room isn't very large, so there can (and is) a wait at any time approaching customary dining times.

Multiple cooks in the kitchen not wearing masks, as Michigan COVID cases went up by 64% recently. Snapped a pic of the woman but there was also a larger man without his mask. Food wasn't that great either, another person said thick bacon and it was way too thin. Service was slow to take food order. Photo attached.

This definitely felt like a 'minimalist' type breakfast spot to me. My parents ordered griddle combos, one with French toast and over easy eggs, and one with pancakes and scrambled eggs. The presentation was simple and the food was basic. I ordered a gyro omelette, and thought the eggs were thinner than most omelettes (about the thickness of a crepe), however the ingredients stuffed inside were pretty good and filing. I went with an omelette over the burrito because it came with home fries, which ended up being pretty good. Most dishes did not come with home fries/hash browns, and the

Still five stars- adding the house-made corned beef hash skillet to my recommendation. A serious must try in addition to my recommendation for the Philly cheesesteak omelette!

DELICIOUS!!! Just had the pumpkin pancakes and they were the best pancakes I've ever had lol. so fluffy and perfect! And my eggs were delicious as well. My OJ was perfect, not bitter at all. Service was great. If I lived in Michigan this would be my go to spot, no doubt.

Very nice family restaurants, located on West Saganaw near Creyts. Great service, great food, sometimes very busy, and sometimes walk right in and sit down. Fast service is a bonus, food
is always hot and fresh.

Headed through town to Ludington and happened by this place. We were happy as soon as we walked in. The restaurant was updated, clean and the staff was excellent. We had prompt and courteous service. We had breakfast and the food was above average, portions were large and drinks were always full.

We would definitely come back!

Just finished lunch, had a cheese steak. Asked for no onions, nor green peppers and if possible Seasoned salt.......was told they had "No seasonings." Fine......out came the sandwich,....with chopped onions and peppers...took 10 min to ick them all out.....luckily it was not an allergy but a preference.......very little meat but cooked well on a ok roll. Being from Philly maybe they didn't have a chance...Onion Rings were good and the hostess was refilling drinks every 2-3 min. Great service and very clean

Great local diner!! The staff are the type to remember more than your name. They'll remark your favorite items to order and you'll find yourself not even needing a menu.

The food comes out fast and it is good and plentiful!!

It's clean and neat. The hours are breakfast and lunch and it has an American diner feel and theme. The menu is typical and what I'd expect.

I came in and was dryly greeted. I felt like I should have walked in the back door. I seated myself. I got a bad vibe walking in. Well I walked in at 12:40. In passing, not a stop/greeting/welcome the waitress plopped the menu on my table and hollered her request for my drink order. She didn't crack a smile.

Water, brought with no straw. I reviewed the menu, found something appealing, proceeded to keep my head up for the waitress. She walked
